Unfortunately, there is alot of fear around childbirth. Even some of the most popular pregnancy and childbirth books are really fear based in their content. We grow up believing that pregnancy is more of an illness that needs to be treated but for many, low risk pregnant people, interventions are unnecessary.

It's important to stay positive and to believe in yourself, your body, and its ability to birth this child! You are strong, beautiful, and powerful. You've got this!!

When you think of childbirth what comes to your mind? Are the images scenes from movies with a birthing person on their back in a hospital gown screaming. Most of us spend our lives thinking this is what childbirth is like, this is what we will experience. But this does not have to be your birth experience. You have many options and there is so much we can do to the birthing space whether it's the place, the lighting or the people surrounding you. I work with clients to find out who they are, how they are comforted, who and how we can help create the perfect safe space for you. It's your body, your labor, birth your way.

I love royal/celebrity news as much as the next person but giving birth to a child is not about the expectations of others. Whether it's the public or just your family and friends, you need to make decisions based on what's best for you and your growing family. You do you! Feel confident to tell others what you need whether thats help and support or space. It's your birth! You deserve and love and support and the experience you want.

Take time each day to sit and breathe. Breathe for yourself, breathe for your baby, breathe for a calmer way of life.

Creating a safe, warm and loving space can greatly improve your birthing experience. For hospital births, I always carry a selection of flameless candles with me to help create the perfect lighting environment for you.

If your child is not ready for a bed, you might want a crib tent, but pediatricians warn they are dangerous. Learn about the alternatives.
